  1. Excellent stop action photography, Jeff. I'm sure there's much more to it, but what camera do you use?
  2. Congratulations! "...Mike is the only person I've ever really loved." Guys named Mike have that effect on people.

  5. I really enjoyed chapter 40, Andy. I liked all the legal discussion you sneaked in there. It seems things are settling down to a new normal for Jason and Peter.
  6. typesetting
  7. This discussion is an interesting and largely feasible hypothesis. I have no doubt that Trevor's mom is still alive. As for the polygamy issue, remember that, under Florida law, Rachel is legally deceased. That may or may not make a difference.
  8. Chapter 5, "It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over"' has been posted. Kris is going to end up in the middle of everything that's going on. I have to say that Evan is one sharp cookie except for one chance encounter. He's trying to keep his boss out of trouble, but doesn't fully understand the trouble he is in himself. I look forward to Oleg's appearance.

    General update

    Congratulations! This sounds like a promotion which will be a plus if you do decide to look for a different job. You've heard of the catbird seat? You are in it.

    Insomnia tip

    Amitriptyline (brand name: Elavil) also helps.

    Whew!

    Congratulations! I think one is a good number to start with. No need in appearing greedy. I've always heard that boys are easier to raise because they are more independent. No way for me to know for sure...all my children and grandchildren are male. Congratulations on the guilty plea. You had several victories that day. I'm sure you will teach your baby, boy or girl, to play well with others and not be a tyrant when in authority.

    Stressful times

    I like Bob's approach too. It's ironic that, now that you've done their dirty work for them, the big shots don't need you any more. They must be a bunch of wimps. Best wishes on your new position, whatever decision you may make. I know you will do a good job.
  17. I think there's much more to like than to dislike on the new GA site. Especially for us readers of stories, there are a lot of neat ways to search and sort through all the stories, poems, forums, and blogs that are posted here. It will take a little bit of time and effort on our part to learn how all the new features work. I would guess most writers feel sort of neutral on the changes. For eFiction prose, the new system seems relatively easy to use. Hosted authors' stories are not quite as snazzy as they used to be, but that may save on valuable resources. For me, as a poet, I was disappointed that the formatting functions in the editor did not work as I expected. Poems, usually short by comparison to prose stories, would benefit from formatting which adds visual appeal. As for the other features of GA, especially the sense of community that others have mentioned, they are as good as ever. I have made a large number of friends over the nearly five years since I joined. I have helped several authors by serving as a beta reader for their stories. And much to my surprise, when I stop to think about it, I have tried my hand at poetry, which I would never have considered doing otherwise. I appreciate the encouragement of other members the and comments my work has received. As for me, GA's the place to be.
  18. Thanks for chapter 38, Andy. I'm glad Peter was willing to accept Jason's assistance. Their past disagreements about money were a real drag on a beautiful relationship.
  19. The stakes have definitely been raised in chapter 4 . The cooler heads are not prevailing among the bad guys. Indeed, things are really heating up. Now, this Kris is something else. It's a good thing he doesn't dislike slightly older guys. Great chapter, Jack.
  20. I'm with you, Wen, on the Super Bowl...super game! I also settled in to watch Glee for the first time ever. I fell asleep, so I won't waste time on the show again. Guess it wasn't totally wasted. I have a three year old grandson who loves Glee. Now that he's started repeating dialog, his parents are weaning him off the show.
